The radius of the disk is R, and the mass of the disk is M. Using the parallel axis theorem and theequation for the moment of inertia of a disk about its central axis developed in the previous example, Eq. (8), the moment of inertia of the disk about the specified axis is Fig.
Short Circuits. Short circuits are the second most common reason for breaker tripping and are a more serious concern. Short circuits occur when the black hot wires inside your electrical service panel come in contact with either other hot wires or neutral wires.
Dimming is the other primary cause of flicker. Conventional dimmers, such as TRIAC (meaning an electronic component that can conduct current in either direction) dimmers, modulate the current by extending the off time in the onâoff cycle, reducing light output.
